Adjusted EBITDA decreased 11% to NOK 10.7 million from NOK 12.4 million in Q2 2017 due to higher Opex mainly driven by larger customer base and increased investments in sales, marketing and product development

17% increase in number of paying terminals and solutions users to 17.7k from 15.1k in Q2 2017

Oslo, 24 August 2018: Infront ASA (INFRNT) today announced its interim results for Q2 2018. Group operating revenue for the quarter was NOK 68.1 million (NOK 63.5 million). The growth of 7% from the same period of last year was driven by higher sales and prices across the group, growth in new markets led by South Africa and UK, the inclusion of external revenues from the acquisition of Inquiry Financial Europe AB, as well as continued positive impact from the SIX transactions. Unfavorable foreign exchange rate developments year-over-year had a negative impact on revenue of NOK 1.6 million in the reporting currency (NOK). EBITDA was NOK 11.0 million in Q2 2018, compared to NOK 4.0 reported for the same period last year, or NOK 12.4 million after adjusting for IPO related costs in Q2 2017.

“We experienced good growth in terminals and solutions subscribers across all regions, including the UK and South Africa in the second quarter. This was reflected in continued revenue growth despite currency headwind caused by a weaker Swedish krona. Interest for our retail web technology solutions remains strong from leading financial institutions across the Nordics, and we expect to see several growth opportunities for the rest of 2018”, said Kristian Nesbak, CEO and Founder of Infront.

Infront generates the vast majority of its revenue based on recurring subscription contracts for the products. Recurring revenue represented 99% of total sales in Q2 2018.
